Discover the Natural Sweetness of Wildflower Honey
Wildflower Honey, also known as polyfloral honey, is sweet syrup that's produced by Honey Bees, and is primarily composed of sugars, enzymes, and vitamins and minerals. Its diversity in source flowers contributes to its high nutritional value and rich, complex flavor profile that changes with the season.
Recognized for its sweet and delicate maple undertones, our Wildflower Honey is not only a popular natural sweetener in tea and beverages, but also a common ingredient in various culinary dishes. It's especially favored for its ability to enhance the flavors of sauces, baking recipes, and in desserts.
Wildflower Honey's versatility extends beyond the kitchen, often used in homemade skincare treatments for its moisturizing properties. Our sources vary, based on the time of year. Typically, we source from True Source Certified and Organic Certified producers in North and South America.
How Bees Make Honey
Bees produce honey through a fascinating process, first collecting nectar from a wide variety of flowers and blossoms, and going on being transported, partially digested, and ultimately deposited into the hive. Honey is produced as a food source, used particularly in times when nectar is scarce.
